Language, education, science, and song come together in surprising ways in        Katherine Bergeron's new history of music in the Belle Epoque. Voice Lessons        examines the modern musical art known as la melodie francaise and its rise to        prominence in the years around 1900-a period when France was pouring resources into        national literacy and French scholars were beginning to grasp the nuances of the        spoken tongue. Bergeron explores the relationship between the free, secular, and        compulsory school system of the Third Republic, and the experimental sciences of        language that grew alongside it, to observe the ways in which both science and        school redefined the verbal arts in France at century's end.The music of Faure,        Debussy, and Ravel; the writings of Mallarme, Rimbaud, and Verlaine; the        performances of Maggie Teyte, Reynaldo Hahn, and Sarah Bernhardt; the linguistic        studies of Paul Passy and Abbe Rousselot: all these sources offer evidence of the        new ideas of expression that proliferated during one of the most idealistic moments        in French musical history, when poets, composers, actors, singers, and scientists        all learned to imagine-and to speak-their language in new ways. Through close        readings of songs, poems, sound recordings, and other historical records, Voice        Lessons narrates the development of a rare musical art, seeking to explain why this        art emerged, why it mattered, and why it eventually disappeared.
